AdWords and SEO

In this podcast, Glenn and Tom discuss the differences between AdWords and other Pay-Per-Click (PPC) services and search engine optimization (SEO). Both have important roles to play in strategic digital marketing, but require different approaches and strategies.

Listen to the podcast to better understand how to set goals for both PPC and SEO in order to drive qualified traffic to your website.

Both SEO and PPC have important roles in strategic digital marketing

These efforts come after solid strategic planning and a well-designed easy to use website

PPC is targeted and focused when looking for measurable results

SEO is based on quality content and is more broad because Google must index your website based on many competitors and many other factors

PPC can also be broad and used for branding, but this is less effective than SEO when using a broad approach

Both cost money and take time and there is no quick fix

PPC is best used to supplement SEO

PPC is excellent for local and regional searches

PPC and SEO can be measured in web stats

A combination of internal and external team members are recommended to set-up and manage these programs
